Jackie,
I'm glad you made it through another Dancentral production. All is going we= ll hear. Work is very busy. I didn't know that Andrea was expecting again. = Be sure to send my congrats and best wishes. I hope Mark is feeling better.= He is too yound to be so stress. Sounds like your new house is beautiful. = I bet you are looking forward to being all settled. Better get back to work= . Great to hear from you and please send my best to everyone. Chris -----Original Message----- From: =09"Dave /Jackie Hewson" <djhewson@telusplanet.net<@ENRON [mailto:IMC= EANOTES-+22Dave+20_Jackie+20Hewson+22+20+3Cdjhewson+40telusplanet+2Enet+3E+= 40ENRON@ENRON.com]=20 Sent:=09Saturday, June 16, 2001 8:20 AM To:=09Dorland, Dan; Dorland, Chris Subject:=09You Great Kids! Hi Chris! Hi Dan! =20 Surprise, surprise, surprise! I just wanted to take a minute and express = what a fan-tabulous video it was that ran at the end of your mom's show th= is year! Your parts in it were absolutely wonderful - came off beautifull= y. Was a teary ending to a L - O - N - G show! Of course, I put Mark on = the spot immediately following the show when we saw him and I said "OK Mar= k, the camera is on you.....what great things do you have to say about you= r mom?" He replied "Are you serious? You're not serious are you?" To wh= ich I said, "Yes, of course I'm serious - you should have heard the great = things Chris and Dan said about their Mom!" Well, he didn't let me down..= ...and then I had a few more tears! You guys did a great job with your pa= rt of the video and I was proud of you. =20 Well, we are going through some major changes here as I'm sure you know. = We took possession of our new "Red Deer" home on June 1st and the first th= ing we did was get Gunner in to install hardwood flooring. They just fini= shed yesterday and it is awesome! Originally there was hardwood in the fr= ont entrance way, but we had that all refinished to match the new stuff th= at we had installed in the family room, kitchen, and atrium. I just love = it! =20 Today we meet the painter there and choose colours and she will get starte= d on Tuesday. We'll have the whole house painted pretty much and then we = can start shuffling our "stuff" from here to there. It's quite overwhelmi= ng moving everything from a barn, two oversize double garages and this hou= se into the city. We had all the "farm stuff" to sell and dispose of and = that is pretty much all done now. Dave's tractor was his pool table fund = and it just sold a week or so ago, so off to Red Deer Billiards to purchas= e the pool table. He is having snooker rails put on - I guess that's what= your folks have too, isn't it? They tell me it's harder to play and that= I should get practised up at home and then hit the bars, challenge the un= suspecting to a game of eight ball and then whoop their butts (because I'd= be so incredibly good after practising on the snooker table). Makes me l= augh! I'm pretty positive challenging anyone for a game would be a joke o= n my part, but hopefully I can get into "pool" mode and have fun with it t= oo. =20 The yard at our new home is just incredible compared to most Red Deer yard= s. The home is on a huge pie shaped lot and has been landscaped beautiful= ly, so we are quite pleased with that. And I LOVE the house. It's really= very nice and I can hardly wait for the whole move experience to be over = and to be settled in there with everything in it's place. We overspent at= Sim's and that's going to be fun receiving all that new furniture! =20 Andrea, Michael and Braedon are doing just fine. They purchased a home in= Clearview Meadows and it's really very nice! Has a fenced yard with lots= of mature greenery and Braedon just loves his new swing set and sand box.= Andrea & Michael are finding it a real treat to be back in town and reli= eves me that Andrea is so much closer to the hospital. She usually is wor= king evening shifts and I always worried about her travelling the highway = so late at night, especially in the winter. They are expecting baby numbe= r 2 and it would appear to be a girl from the ultrasounds she's had so tha= t is pretty exciting. Miss Jordyn Marie will be her name (they haven't de= cided on a boy's name yet in the event that Miss Jordyn Marie has a "Mr. W= iggley" - but are pondering it). =20 Mark, of course is a whole other story. That boy gives me a few new grey = hairs on a regular basis. He's no sooner apart from Nikki and "enter Alis= on". Alison is 18 years old and very very quiet, so hard for us to get to= know her, but she seems quite nice so that's a good thing. (Not sitting = around with a scowl on her face like Nick usually did) Mark and Alison ar= e "in love" and are just ga-ga over each other. We are very nice to see h= im so happy, although worry that it all happened a bit soon. But, what do= we know? Mark has been having trouble with his health and I'm somewhat c= ertain it is stress related, however he denies that. He experiences such = severe chest pains that he actually passes out from the pain. This has be= en happening more frequently of late and he had to leave the job he was on= in Fort St. John and return home to try to get healthy before he moves to= Cold Lake on July 1st! (That's the other big change) They've run EKG's = (or ECG's) on him, taken blood, chest X-Rays, etc. and results all came ba= ck clear, so they are unable to determine what is causing him his problems= . I guess he's dropped alot of weight and is now underweight for his age = and height. The Dr. has now determined it is a muscle related problem and= has him on muscle relaxants and apparently they are helping somewhat, so = hopefully it will be as easy as that. =20 I'm sad to see him leaving for Cold Lake again as it is so far away and we= won't get to see him much - but you guys know all about that! He, on the= other hand is quite excited to get away and get a "new" start so to speak= , once again. Alison is moving up there with them and they are pretty exc= ited to set up their own home. Right now Alison is in Australia - a trip = she has been planning and saving for for quite some time, but she is missi= ng Mark terribly and trying to come home early. =20 We are going to the production "Chicago" with your mom and dad next weeken= d and I'm really looking forward to the day. Dave and I are planning a tr= ip to Toronto Dan - just a quick 4 dayer with another couple and I think w= e've pretty much decided on August 16 - 19th, but tickets haven't been pur= chased yet. We will go see the Lion King and I want to drive out to Niaga= ra Falls while we're there also. Should be fun. Hard for us to focus on = too much until we get this move completed. We have until August 1st befor= e we actually give up possession here on the farm and thank God for all th= e time - we seem to be needing it and it's just flying! =20 Well boys, I better get off the computer and get back to my packing. Will= do some packing and then head into town to run some errands before we hav= e to meet the painter. Take care you two and once again - Great job with = the video! =20 xoxo Jackie
